State Planes Fly, Why Can't You
And I? Old Refrain at Capitol
By Melvin Paul
State hoove Corre*p<ax1ent
Hie Nebraska Press Association
LINCOLN—A ruckus over use
at the state plane is now new in
Nebraska politics. U has come
up with every governor who has
beer in office since 1941, s >me
to a bigger degree than otters
Twice Gov. Dwight Burney has
been involved in a political fight
in pre-election maneuvering about
the plane. Once, he fired State
Aeronautics Director Jack Ohbrnk
for taking Robert Kennedy, bro
ther of John Kennedy, to Kan
aas City without telling him.
Democrats than said Harney
himself used the plane in 1953
while a state senator to make a
trip to South Dakota to sell lots
be owned there
Burney said that was right but
he had the permissi n of the then
governor. Robert Crosby, and the
plane was on state business any
way.
State departments own and op
erate nine aircraft, not including
National Guard plants Titles to
seven are held bv the Aeronautics
Department, including three h“li
copters Th- Game Compulsion
and the Highway Department own
planesadditional’y. Often depart
ments rent aircraft for special
work.
It may be the fighting may
bring legislation to better spell
out who may use the state air
planes, under what conditions.
and who has final authority in
such matters.
Now, the governor by law can
direct usage of planes owned by
the Aerunautics department but
it is not clear as to his juriadic
Uon over craft operated by other
departments The game and high
way departments, however, said
they report to the chief ex.-cunve
cm their use of planes.
Graveled Roads
Nebraska, by the end of the
curren two-year period, will have
converted 800 miles of graveled
highways to dust Is ss surfacing.
That’s the picture painted by Act
ing State Engineer John Hossack
H >saack says every mile o g"a
vel improved to hard surfacing
saves the state $300 In mainte
nance costs. The 800 miles will
represent a savings of $240,000
Hossack said, which can be used
for surfacing of mere roads.
In 13 >2, there were 5,020 miles
of gravel highways no the state
highway system, Hossack said.
At the end of the curren two-year
program the mTenge will be cut
to 2,450. he added.
"We have come a long wry
with tie revenues we have had
available to use,” the acting cn
gineer commented.
Hossack said one of the reas ms
the state is hesitant to add n w
mads to the state system is the
ceist of maintaining the new mile
age “which may set us back a
number of years in getting a
gravel free state system.”
Sleigh Ritle
There are signs Christmas is
n’t far awmy. The State Railway
Commission authorized a Colum
bus firm to give sleigh rides to
boys and girls in any Nebraska
city The sleigh, motorized, has
artificial reindeer appearing to
pull it.
Animal Ailments
Hog cholera has not been a
big pr blem in Nebraska the last
two years says Dr F. E. Ziegen
bein, state veterinarian.
Ziegenbetn says tfa.s is despite
the tact there have been s krf
erf diseased feeder pigs imported
into Nebraska by bootleg me
thods But he adds, “Our field
men bare been on guard at many
ports of entry' and have made it
so miserable for the bootlegger?
that they had to change me,ho .s “
Ziegenbein continues though
that “we are nearly helpless to
c myletely stop the illicit impnr
t a non of swine and livestock un
der our present law “The voter
inanan also noted that hog rai
sers have been “somewhat neg
ligent" in the vaccination cf their
an ma’s for bog cholera.
‘Should we have a general out
break.’ he nod, "1 question if
we would have onojgh vaccine
to supply the demand
Ziegenbein commented that ery
sipelas in swine, however, is no
longer a major factor ui the pro
duct ion of p wk anti although
there are products for prevention
of this disease, as well as eho
lera, the hog raiser has not im
munized to the extent he should
for this disease either.
Cigarets
Nebraskans smoked a lot of
cigarets during the first 10 months
of this year At four cents tax
nor pack at the state 1 vel, they
have paid $5.7 million in taxes
to the state so far this year, a?
a rate of about a half million
doPnr per months.
Since the enactment of the ci
garet tax in 1947, Nebraskan
have paid $55.6 mi’lion 13 the
state as tax on their smokes. The
rate was three cents per peck
until 19)7 when th» Legislature
upp d the levy to four cents.
